Success probability for selectively neutral invading species in the line model with a random fitness landscape
Suzan Farhang-Sardroodi, Natalia L. Komarova, Marcus Michelen +1
We consider a spatial (line) model for invasion of a population by a single mutant with a stochastically selectively neutral fitness landscape, independent from the fitness landsca…
Admission predictors for success in a mathematics graduate program
Timmy Ma, Karen E. Wood, Di Xu +3
There are many factors that can influence the outcome for students in a mathematics PhD program: bachelor's GPA (BGPA), bachelor's major, GRE scores, gender, Under-Represented Mino…
The duality of spatial death-birth and birth-death processes and limitations of the isothermal theorem
Kamran Kaveh, Natalia Komarova, Mohammad Kohandel
Evolutionary models on graphs, as an extension of the Moran process, have two major implementations: birth-death (BD) models (or the invasion process) and death- birth (DB) models…
When Learners Surpass their Sources: Mathematical Modeling of Learning from an Inconsistent Source
Yelena Mandelshtam, Natalia Komarova
We present a new algorithm to model and investigate the learning process of a learner mastering a set of grammatical rules from an inconsistent source. The compelling interest of h…
Symmetric vs asymmetric stem cell divisions: an adaptation against cancer?
Leili Shahriyari, Natalia L. Komarova
Traditionally, it has been held that a central characteristic of stem cells is their ability to divide asymmetrically. Recent advances in inducible genetic labeling provided ample…
Calculating effective gun policies
Dominik Wodarz, Natalia L. Komarova
Following recent shootings in the USA, a debate has erupted, one side favoring stricter gun control, the other promoting protection through more weapons. We provide a scientific fo…
